To-Do Tuesday Linky #17 & Weekly Progress Update

Join us for the 17th linky party post and the 137th edition of the weekly to-do list. Thanks to everyone who linked up with us last week.

To-Do for the week of November 26th through December 2nd:

Decide on the last OMG for 2019 – √ done

Complete the quilt top for November’s OMG – √ done

Decorate the house for Christmas?? – √ done

To-Do #1

Here we are in December – the last month of 2019. Just three short weeks and it’s Christmas Eve when we host a nice party for family and friends. Selecting the last one monthly goal (OMG) of the year has to be a fairly easy one, don’t you think?! How about putting all of the monthly color blocks into a quilt top. I think that’s a fabulous goal.

To-Do #2

Thankfully, the Ripples quilt top is all together and awaiting further duty. Oddly enough, we received two additional blocks in the mail late afternoon on the day this was sewn. Seriously . . . what are the odds?!! They weren’t included but will be if we receive or make two more blocks. It was so fun getting a close look at the fabrics our beehive friends chose to use. I would have to say that it is one of the best parts of belonging to a beehive group next to the actual friendships formed. Here’s the link to the Ripples block should you wish to make your own quilt.

To-Do #3

Decorating the house . . . moving the furniture around . . . bringing in the totes that store our village pieces. Maybe some of it happened!

December OMG

Thank you to Patty’s at Elm Street Quilts and her linky party which opened on December 1st. I’ll share a post about our goal tomorrow but you have a clear clue in the first to-do above. HAHA!

To-Do for the week of December 3rd through 9th:

I love how different your two projects are; both of them are fabulous. I was struck by how much your Ripples quilt reminds me of the Birds in the Air project I’m working on right now — from a distance it looks like the same block and layout with different proportions to that one triangle that would be much larger if it was a Birds In the Air block — so then I had to follow your link to look at the Ripples block and it was so cool to see how completely different the block construction is. You have a lot on your plate, especially if you’re hosting a New Year’s Eve party. I may or may not be hosting a raucous choir party at my house a week from Saturday, and I’m looking around the house and constantly noticing spots that haven’t been cleaned in a decade, things my dog chewed up or scratched up and no one noticed… I’m thinking of a nice candlelit bash so no one can see that my dust bunnies are more like drifting tumbleweeds in an old Western movie…

Hello Roseanne, Have a wonderful month doing whatever you desire! I know I am looking forward to seeing both of these quilts all finished. The bright fabrics in the monthly block quilt is what I really like about that quilt, plus, some of the blocks I have never done. Your Ripples quilt is fantastic and so glad that you did get two more blocks! It is a splendid size now and you will have so many fond memories pulling it out year after year from now on! Have a blast decorating! I have not even thought about it yet. Have a fantastic day!!

A good list of projects for the week, Roseanne! I need to finish my final block for Jen’s BOM. I’m excitedly thinking about how to lay them out, sashing, etc. If I go with black, I think I even have the fabric in my stash (squeee)!

I will try to be on my A game and finish something so I can party with you!!! It sounds like it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at your house! Maybe I should come there instead of dragging all my stuff out 🙂
